More Zune Bashing

Unless anything absolutely necessary to report comes out, this will be my last Zune post for a while. First, feast your eyes on the top of the Zune box. This is an actual picture. Wel-comeindeed! This instantly reminded me of the hillarious YouTube video where Microsoft designed an iPod box.

A MacRumors forum member named Jupiter came up with this great commercial idea:

I would love Apple to come up with an iPod Ad campaign similar to to the "Get a Mac" TV ads.

Imagine this:

Zune (in a brown suit of course): Hello I'm a Zune

iPod: and I'm an iPod

iPod: so whats that you're playing with?

Zune (throwing up a ball and catching it again): oh this is a new song I just downloaded from the zune marketplace, it's really popular at the moment.

iPod: Congratulations, I can see you're enjoying it.

Zune: Oh it's not just me watch this:

(2nd Zune walks onto the screen)

Zune: Excuse me, mind if I zune this song to you?

Zune 2: Yeah sure, go ahead.

(Zune throws ball to Zune 2 who then starts throwing it up and catching it.)

iPod: Wow thats really cool.

Zune: I know, we're great buddies.

(Zune 2 throws up the ball for the third time, but it does not come back down again.)
